Services

Spinal Cord Stimulation

Spinal cord stimulation uses implanted devices to interrupt pain signals for chronic back, neck, or limb pain. This FDA-approved treatment offers customizable relief through paresthesia-based or sub-perception therapy. Ideal for patients unresponsive to conventional treatments, it provides trial-based implementation to ensure effectiveness before permanent implantation.

Epidural Injections

Epidural steroid injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to spinal nerve roots for back, neck, or arm pain. Effective for conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis, these injections provide temporary relief lasting 1-3 months. Performed with precision imaging guidance to ensure accurate medication placement.

Knee Injections

Knee injections combine corticosteroids and hyaluronic acid to reduce inflammation and improve joint lubrication. Treatments address osteoarthritis and sports injuries, offering several months of pain relief. The procedure includes joint fluid analysis when necessary for diagnostic accuracy.

Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency ablation targets pain-transmitting nerves using heat energy for lasting relief. This minimally invasive procedure treats facet joint pain and chronic neck/back conditions. Performed under local anesthesia with real-time imaging for precise nerve targeting.

Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative medicine utilizes platelet-rich plasma and stem cell injections to promote tissue healing. Treatments address musculoskeletal injuries and arthritis by accelerating natural repair processes. Non-surgical approach focuses on long-term tissue regeneration rather than temporary symptom management.

I liked Thrive Pain Management because they were able to get me in for an evaluation really quickly. Morgan was very professional. Dr. Dunson knew exactly what my pain issue was and had a great plan to get it under control. The office was really nice and clean. They follow the COVID-19 precautions. I will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs help with getting their pain under control.

Dr Dunson is a remarkable, knowledgeable & professional physician. He has helped me more than any physician that I have had. In 2000, I began to have symptoms of osteoarthritis that progressed quickly to multiple joint replacements. With that I had severe pain that didnt seem to be touched by anything & the doctors added medications after medications. As I realized what was happening I began to search out someone to help me without medications. After moving to Texas, I found Dr. Dunson who was using a different approach to pain management utilizing a more long term pain control for chronic pain

I have been seeing Dr Dunson for a year for multiple pain ailments. I've always had a good experience with him and his staff. They are very professional and he takes the time to explain procedures and how medications will or won't work. I would highly recommend him to anyone suffering with chronic pain or short term pain from surgery. He is extremely knowledgeable.
